I had to look it up on a map when I read a story about him buying a ski resort I’d never heard of before. The guy has some experience with setting up concerts so that’s a plus. Anything they can do to get people up north (or Canadians down south) and spending money is good for the locals.

THe news this morning is making me nauseous. George Soros is really building his little brownshirts, isn’t he?

Luckily the teachers have done a phenomenal job of teaching them absolutely nothing. They’re able to parrot the little bumpersticker understanding of the world and march off full of righteous indignation and anger.

Hasn’t it always been this way? Kids are dumb. Most are dumb because they are in the middle of the bell curve, the smart are dumb because they lack any experience, and the really smart kinda maybe sorta get it but FREE KOLLIDGE!

Commie teachers miseducated them, and we need messicans and H1Bs to get anything done, so the native kids have plenty of time and energy to riot and a mountain of debt they can’t repay.

Sometimes you have to stand back and admire the monster the Left has built. All those complex moving parts just fit together like a machine. I’m not saying they planned it that way, but they couldn’t have planned it better.

I blame the parents. My kids know what is what.

I guess I do as well. I was in a bullshit HR seminar with about 150 people and the speaker, a 25 year old millennial was talking about how to manage a multi-generational workforce. He asked the audience about how entitled, spoiled, self centered, etc. his generation is.

We’re trying with the boys. The older boy may be a lost cause, not out of any intention on his part, rather due to innate intellectual deficits. The younger boy is slowly gaining insight about how hard work got his step dad and mom where they are. He’s still a kid though and there will be many lessons to learn

My son is 16. Just now becoming “politically aware”. They are discussing Politics in Social Studies this year. I decided to lead with conceptual ideas…. What is Freedom? Rights? Where do you get them? What is a governments role in society. What ISNT a government role in society? Why Utopian thinking always fails (all utopian thinking hinges on the exclusion and elimination of human nature) etc. etc.

We live in a very rural community (town of like 900) and have been dealing with the whole trannie / homo I want to use different locker and shitter than my actual gender bullshit this year. He see’s right through that garabage, so I hope I can counter act the messages he’s been getting from public school. So far so good.

San Patricio is the nearest town to Hondo. Established by Irish guys that fought for the Union in the Civil War and were later sent to Forts in NM. In this case, Ft Stanton. Married local women. Catholic. I’m more Irish than Native. This months New Mexico magazine features the Hurd-Wyeth gallery and shows the area around San Patricio

Another example of Obama administration totally muffing up something is the Arab Spring catastrophe and the labeling of ISIS as JV. Also, releasing Gitmo scum who then become big players in ISIS. Well played, administration! #HashtagsSolveProblems

I hate living in this state. After the two biggest tax hikes in history we are facing another deficit. The Governor announces BIG SPENDING CUTS. All the news outlets are talking about HUGE SPENDING CUTS of $65 million. (1/3 of one percent of the budget) HUGE.

And, all the cuts are to children’s hospitals, and mental health agencies, so of course there is plenty of faux outrage.

Soon, there will be photos of dying children because of these horrific 1/3 of one percent cuts.

Tax hikes are coming….for the children.

The most likely solution? A $1 per hour tax, per employee, on every large employer that doesn’t pay $15 per hour.

Riiight… cause that’s the reasonable thing to cut first….. same as when they immediately talk about cutting fire and police……cause everybody knows thats where you cut first! You don’t cut raises, bonuses, for executives in all agencies first, that’d be crazy…..

Girls soccer team roaster was just released and my perfect wonderful awesome soccer playing daughter isn’t on Varisty. Or Jv A. She’s on JV B. Which is basically a freshman team – that’s who they’ll be playing.

SHe’s a sophomore and the new coach didn’t even LOOK at her. I’m beyond pissed and don’t even know how I”m going to tell her.

Most of her friends are on Varsity (and she’s as good if not better than them) and the rest are on the JV A team. I’m really ready to go on a 57-state murdering spree. Pat is trying to talk me down.

Her old coach is offering her positions on their teams (boys teams), etc.

Use this to re-enforce that life is not “fair.” Expecting “fair” out of life leads to disappointment. Use it to teach her how to hide her emotions in the face of stupid. Its a skill she will need if she doesn’t already have.

“Use it to teach her how to hide her emotions in the face of stupid. ”

Yes – this.

I’m really raging here so I am calm by the time she gets home and I can give her the “use this to drive you. To PROVE not that they just made a mistake – but they were REALLY FUCKING COMPLETELY WRONG”.

I’m sure she does. Some of the girls already have put up on FB that they’ve made varsity. I don’t want to text her because I’m sure she’s upset and doesn’t want to feel like she has to … talk to me about it right now.

You know what my mistake was? I didn’t go to all the tryouts and say something like the following to the coach:

“See her over there? That’s my daughter Erin. She’s been playing soccer since she was 4 and travel soccer for 5 years as a starter, playing the entire game. SHe runs 10 mile races and never tires. She is an awesome soccer player and has been coached by [insert list of coaches here]. SHe lives and breathes soccer and is just dying to see what you can teach her.”

Hotspur – my goal is to NOT do those things. They are bullshit and wrong. My kids are old enough that they are the ones who should have the relationship with the coach. If I eventually meet and become friendly, that’s later.

And yes, I’m sure the parent/politic thing had a lot to do with it. Erin’s past success as a soccer player have had NOTHING to do with me and what I say/do. I’ve picked the coaches I like (when there is a choice) and my job SHOULD BE done then.

Other parents need to live through their children and be their drive/support. I push Erin at home. But I’m not paving the way for her with a high school coach. That’s wrong.

Car in, you’re doing the right thing. It’s hard, but Erin will be better off by you keeping your distance. All the special little snowflakes will eventually discover that mom and dad can’t run their entire lives for them, and it will be an ugly discovery.

I was at a show back in January at a local bar. I was sitting on the patio smoking a cigar and talking to this cute blonde gal. She said to me, “I work at the Subaru dealership. I know, how stereotypical is that? A lesbian working at a Subaru dealership!”

I’d say let her take her anger at being snubbed out on the opposing players at other schools. No mercy, run the score up. If the coach isn’t a pussy he or she will leave her in because winning feels good.

I’m 100% Indonesian. I was born and raised in Jakarta. My whole family is radical Islamit.
I think they take life too seriously.
After jr high I sailed my fishing skiff to San Diego and due to a genetic abnormality I actually look Irish American so here I am.
People say Indo is a great place to visit but I’ll never go baht.

So the left seems to be in all out panic mode over Trump. They keep referring to how horrible a person he is.

Thing is though, they would be in all out panic mode over any republican. They did it to Bush – twice, McCain (spit), and Romney (spit). To a lesser extent they are doing it to Cruz, but if he pulls ahead they will be full court press. They did it to Carson, Rubio, and Fiorina. Only reason they aren’t doing it to Kasich is that it would be a waste of time. He doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in Hell anyway.

So, when my liberal pals bash a candidate, I remind them of this. And I remind them that I hate every single politician that they’ve floated out there, including the current embarrassment in the WH.

I’m so out of it I’m still scratching my head about HTF it’s possible we elected (twice) someone we know so little about, who had done nothing, hung out with scum, and while campaigning said idiotic things consistently.

Mare, in answer to your earlier inquiry: I always fasted on Monday and Tuesday because it’s easier for me to suck it up early in the week rather than late. IN general I’d eat supper Sunday night about 7:00 and then not eat again until Wednesday morning. I did allow myself one cup of coffee w sugar free creamer each morning. This allowed me a calorie intake of about 30 calories each day. Other than that it was just water and Splenda iced tea. Tuesday afternoon and evening were the times I really had to bare down on that squealing pussy in my head that is always after me to eat, but by then I could see the finish line. Weds morning I had to be careful not to gorge. After 60 hours, It’s easy to justify three eggs instead of two and maybe a little shredded cheese…..

The tryouts were on a gym floor. SHe said they basically did nothing. They’ve humiliated her based on nothing but … I don’t know what. There are only two sophomores on the “b” JV team. If there weren’t three teams she wouldn’t have made any.

SHe’s started for travel soccer for FIVE years. She’s played up for years and played on a boys team last spring.

Traditional travel is opposite the school teams so they kids can play both. So she does travel in the fall. If they form an “Academy” team, they don’t play on their high school team and just do travel both seasons. Her old coach just left and told her she thinks the best thing for her is to tell the high school coach to take a flying fuck and for her to play with the boy’s travel team.

Coach knows the entire system intimately, and says this joker they’ve hired doesn’t even have a coaching license. He doesn’t have a travel team or done any team training. Said that she is absolutely NOT to play on the b team and probably not even the A (she would have placed her on varsity and went through the entire roaster saying all the other mistakes these asses have made. )

I told erin to think about it – don’t make any hasty decisions. Right now she doesn’t want to play – or attend – high school.

Honestly, I could finish her high school education at a much higher level than they are doing.

In my case it was un-avoidable. I wasnt going to go to school 40 hrs a week to learn a curriculum that would take me 10% of that time to learn on my own. Especially when there were good jobs out there.

1) promise not to raise taxes
2) make insignificant cuts to various social welfare programs
3) have the press report on the massive spending cuts
4) have the press report on all the suffering caused by cuts
5) raise taxes to end the suffering

Dan and I saw 18 govt vehicles that weren’t LEOs. Why do government officials need State provided vehicles? DoT? CYFD? ENMU provided my Aunt Monica with a vehicle for 20 years just for working there. Why is this a thing? Aren’t they paid enough to buy their own damn cars? Pay their own insurance? Why do they get to fill up at State funded gas stations?

My husband, eldest and I went sailing and it’s right at downtown ST Pete, husband asked if we wanted a drink afterward . He forgot it was St Paddys day. People everywhere, but it’s always hopping down there.We went into an Irish Pub and they had wonderful Irish dancers and a couple of Irish bands. The people watching was interesting. Cops everywhere!

We were watching baseball in OH. Drove until Dan got tired. No vacancies at most places in IN. Ended up at an old school Motel 6. We just wanted to sleep. Everyone was sitting outside on lawn chairs with coolers full of beer. Smoking cigarettes. Hoosiers

I’ve seen deer, moose and turkeys in my yard. I’ve also come across a few moose in the woods when I used to hike a lot. One time I was hiking with a friend in NH and there was a patch of mud in a saddle between two hills and there were moose tracks in the mud. My friend said “Moose. Fresh tracks. Recently near” like some kind of Indian tracker. I was turning around to say shut the fuck up and as I turned back around I nearly walked into a huge bull moose’s hind quarters. I calmly laid my pack down and retreated behind some big trees while the moose finished grazing on some plant shoots and then left.

Shot a coyote this morning. We were looking at some cows and my son spotted it in some trees about 300 yards out. It played hide and seek for a while. Finally stopped where I could see it through a hole in the branches of a tree. 318 yards. Lots of coyotes this year they’ve really been hanging around the cows.

That’s a pretty fair distance there, Pepe. Nice shooting. I saw a coyote trying to get across the freeway about 1/4 mile from my house yesterday morning. The only things in danger around here are the trash cans and the neighborhood cats.

Squabbling with siblings. My bro is an attorney with his own firm. He is feeling the Bern. Lucky for us, he has never voted. He thinks I’m racist. He employs illegals for his home and represents them. He H8s Searchlight, but his former partner was a Jack Mormon. My brother still gets clients from Searchlight and his son.

She is convinced she’s in danger. Works for me. SiL has already begged off from moving day. Dan told his mom today that mi familia is stepping in. He’s turning everything over to my CiL, Phil. My mom would blanket blame white people. I know lazy millennials when I see them

I know that I’ve been mad in love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me baby, really cut me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You’re the derp that I have opened
And now I’ve got to know much more

Mare’s Musings

February 18, 2018

I’ll tell you, I had to turn the Olympics off last night. The gay overload with the gay flags and gayness and the gay skier and the all about gay was too much for me. How does being gay have ANYTHING to do with skiing unless you’re purposefully landing on a pole?
